A morning coffee and a bacon sandwich is one of the best ways to start the day. But what about having the two mixed together?

Fans of having a coffee with their breakfast can get both in one mouthful now that Caffè Nero is releasing coffee-infused bacon roll.

The pick-me-up in a bun is the first of its kind, and incorporates Italian espresso coffee and crispy British bacon.

To create the unique taste of the bacon, it is cured for over 20 hours using Caffè Nero’s signature blend of coffee.

Other items on the coffee themed menu include a classic ciabatta bacon roll, BLT sandwich, bacon, sausage and egg breakfast pot, brie and bacon panini, and bacon and chutney flatbread.
